(((Goldy))) Retweeted Will Bunch ✔ @Will_Bunch I’m sorry- so-called libs like Tulsi Gabbard who offer aid to Trump are giving a seal of approval to America’s descent into authoritarianism

Yeah, but you’re probably also sorry Gabbard resigned her DNC leadership position after the favoritism shown by the DNC to a corrupt woman over an honest man last Spring, too.

Why would Democrats want to provide support to a young, attractive, minority woman

The Democrat was elected to the Hawaii legislature at age 21 and stepped down from her post to serve two tours of duty in Iraq. Gabbard worked in local politics after leaving active duty and is in her second term in Congress. She is one of two female veterans to serve in Congress and is the first Hindu member.

with substantial leadership potential and who can think outside the box, when they’ve got experienced people like Pelosi, Hoyer, and Schumer in current leadership roles, anyway? After all, with that tried-and-true leadership team, your future’s so bright, you gotta wear shades.

Last week we reported that Kshama Sawant’s office had been flooded with phone calls and emails from people demanding that she leave the country (she is an immigrant) and threatening her and her staff with physical violence (one caller said that he would “tattoo a swastika on that bitch’s forehead”>).

(((Goldy))) @GoldyHA If they succeed, it will be the end of American democracy as we know it. And no, I am not being hyperbolic. This is the Great Unravelling.

There are different ways of measuring success.

Right now the lead is about 6,000.

If careful analysis confirms that 5,000 of them are fraudulent and yet Cooper still takes it by 1,000, pretty sure that going forward GOP would be quite happy with proof that 5,000 fraudulent votes were cast in a NC statewide election.

And Goldy will be secure in the knowledge that American democracy did not end. Rule of law and all.

@2 There’s an old saying that goes, “Your freedom to swing your fist stop where my nose starts.” Liberals are not the least bit interested in your private life. We only seek to regulate behavior that harms others.

@8 Hey, if McCrory can prove 5,000 fraudulent votes, more power to him. But there’s a difference between real voting fraud (extremely rare) and hot air (extremely common). To McCrory, the definition of “fraud” may consist of voting and being black at the same time.

President-elect Donald Trump would start with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which remains a target for Republicans after a scandal that erupted in 2014 over the coverup of long wait times for patients.

What the chart above suggests is the limits of organization. Clinton, like Obama before her, invested massive resources in building voter identification and turnout operations in every swing state. But, unlike Obama, Clinton wasn’t able to supplement that organization with the requisite amount of organic energy and passion for her candidacy. The best organization in the world can’t make up for a lack of enthusiasm.

No VA. No ACA. No Medicare. No Medicaid. American veterans with modest vouchers and pre-existing conditions will be sent off to the private sector to discover that the cost of a private health insurance plan is far beyond their means. But they won’t be alone. The same fate is planned for the poor and lower middle class, as well as for Grannie and Gramps.

“Heil the people! Heil victory!”

You do more than give snide to the suffering of the sick, Doctor. You cheer for fascism. As I’ve said a few times before, commies to the left, fascists to the right, and I don’t cotton to either fucking one of them.

@9 Well, it depends. Each and every one of us has the unlimited right to say whatever he or she wants, as long as nobody hears it. Status and power might be indexed by how much an individual can say which -is- widely heard, and not wind up getting separated from his or her head.

The only person I see that appears to be happy about Police being killed is you. You’re overjoyed about how you believe that it somehow proves something about your personal “others”.

It just might come out that the culprits are right-wing sovereign citizen types. Skin color doesn’t factor into that at all.

That being said, if it turns out that it’s somehow blamed on some “organization” doing it, and it turns out to be all black folks in that “organization”, where do you think the reprisals are going to go? People who engage in reprisals don’t care about people’s religion or their political affiliations, who’s shirts they wear or anything else. They’re not going to give a damn about any of that.

All that means is that they aren’t going to be rampaging though my neighborhood.

@24, Its absolutely clear that the God Emperor Trump electrified a whole new crowd of voters in key states with his commitment to putting Real Americans first! With a high energy message focusing on returning control of the government to common sense good ol’ folks in our great Heartland. All the progressives can do now is watch the Alpha Magic unfold from the confines of their soon to be condemned safe spaces.

@22, We can finally speak the truth! Every single one of the suspects identified so far is a mongrel thug. BLM is nothing but a race war against public servants. Our Great Leader Trump will show these scum no quarter!

Trump’s plan gives giant tax credits for private companies that invest in projects, lowering the cost of financing the project significantly. Sanders took issue with the tax loopholes afforded by the plan.

“Trump would allow corporations that have stashed their profits overseas to pay just a fraction of what the companies owe in federal taxes,” he wrote. “And then he would allow the companies to “invest” in infrastructure projects in exchange for even more tax breaks. Trump’s plan is corporate welfare coming and going.”

@19 “Democrats lost this year by not listening to what people who didn’t like what they were doing had to say about things.”

It’s true some working class voters in Rust Belt states who traditionally voted Democratic went for Trump this year because the Democrats couldn’t save their jobs. We’ll see how the GOP fares when these voters figure out that Trump can’t bring back their jobs. Usually, it’s risky to promise things you can’t deliver.

You know Carl some president sad about when it gets hot in the kitchen, I think Sawhat can handle the heat of the kitchen and hopefully welcomes it. It’s part of politics. Now if she wants to be the kind leader she has been, and can’t handle the heat she will be flash in the pan, and hopefully someone else will pick up the torch.

@13 You are only considering one type of fraud at the voting box. The most insidious type of fraud is when the ballot box if stuffed, Done well it’s hard to prove, done poorly it’s usually caught, but it’s done by the county officials in some particular county and counties and there have been such corrupt politicians involved in all of our national elections, and some are Democrats and some are Republicans, and to an extent it’s good there is some corruption as it shows something worth stealing.

@26 Actually you should send the Fascists to the left as well, it’s a socialist concept. It’s as much left as it is right. And when the ruckus breaks out between the two groups, it’s because familiarity breeds contempt.

@39 A lot of these current or former AFL/CIO do have a penchant for patient, and they have given the Democrats 30 years seems they might give this Trump another term if he appears to be trying,. And especially when the Republicans start calling him a Democrat. Not sure yet, but could be he’s a democrat in republican clothing. Or he learned a thing about the third way from Bill Clinton,. We will just have to see.

Hey is there some doom clock counting back to December 19 to be reset as a countdown to doom on when the President elect takes the oath of office?

Will Berke Breathed keep going with Bloom County going with Trump as President?
